Wyoming Territory.
Thomas Moonlight, governor OF Wyo-
ming Territory, in his annual report
states:
The territory is adapted for farming pur-
poses as well as for stock raising. The
population is 5000. Owing to the fact
that the railroad lands are assessed this
year for the first time the taxable values
of the present year exceed those of last
year by over million OF dollars. For the
ten months beginning in September
80. 1887, soa,1 1856 acres Of public
land were taken up. The governor notes
the decadence OF the cattle business as
compared with former years. The hard
winters and scarcity OF food are bringing
about the result OF confning the cattle
more to one locality. where they can be
sheltered and fed during the winter. The
cattle in this way becoming partially do
mesticated will increase in numbers, and
and the time is near at hand when there
will be more cattle to the square mile in
Wyoming than ever before. Bituminous
coal deposits are found everywhere in the
territory. There is also an extensive de-
posit of soda. The oil fields are very rich.

Dublin dispatch: Crowds OF people as
sembled at Giveedore to witness the eviction
of Widow Bonar. The widows house was
strongly barricaded. Baiiffs were ordered
to force an ent rance with crow bars The
occupants threw boiling water in their
faces and down their backs. When the
bailiffs had smashed in the front door an
idiot boy dashed out OF the house and vio-
lently attacked them. The bailiffs opened
holes in the side OF the house. The occu.
pants replied with another torrent OF boil
ing water. Finally the gable with part of
the roof fell. The inmates threw q volley
OF stones at the police. The latter after a.
desperate effort entered the house and
dragged out uhe tenants, who were carried
to the barracks on doors. After the police
left the crowd reinstated tenant O'Brien
T.. s. Oliver, president OF the Amnesty
association of Chicago, who has charge of
the petitions in behalf of the condemned
anarchists to Cox. Oglesby, says The
work of the ass sociation s progressing rap
idly. Outside OF Chicago there is great
demand for petition. blanks. and thous-
ands OF copies have been sent to mary,
cities ane towns in various states. New
York, alone will furnish some $4,000 sig
natures. In Chicago the number OF sigma
lures is large, most of the members of the
labor organizations having signed the Pc
tition. The defense fund has been consid-
erably increased since the announcemenU
OF the decision Of the supreme court. A
subscription in favor of the anarchists has
| been started in England.
| In refutation of the charges made since
| the dismissal of Capt. Gray. as to the
| amount of drunkenness in the army, a
prominent officer OF the judge advocate
general office says: There has been a large
| DECREASE yearly in intemperance in both
| the rank and file of the army ever since the
| war. From the returns it appears that
| last fiscal year was no exception to the
| rule-in fact, the percentage of decrease
especially among officers, is much larger
than for several years past. These good
! results are attributsbie to the restrictions
upon settlers at army posts, and to the
good work being done by temperance adj
| vocates. There is less intemperancei in the
army than among any like number OF pro-
| fessional men IN civil life. -
Judge Manning, minister to Mexico, has
resigned. He is in New York. His resigna.
tion is a reminiscence oflast winter. Judge
| Manning has been at home III Louisiana
for some time taking part in q very bitter
contest in politics in nis state. The next
| legislature OF that state elects United
States senators to succeed Eustis and Glib
| son. It is to prepare his way for candi-
dacy for one OF these seats that Judge
Manning has come from Mexico.
Judge Pinney of Wisconsin and w. X.
| Mendenhall, attorneys of the Wisconsin,
Central road, made an argument before
| the secretary of the interior for allowing
that road an extension of time for the set
tlement of it's land grant beyond the limit
fixed by the order throwing these lands op-
OH to settlement. This date is Oct. Is.
1 The roads selections OF indemnity lands
! are now in course of adjustment in the
/ general land office. and If the lands are
/ thrown open to. settlement before the se-
lections are approved by the secretary it
| will allow settlers to go into the lalAsD1a&
and contest the right OF the road to selec.
